The first part of Chapter 4, Over Hill and Under Hill, is unique for it’s direct correlation with Tolkien’s own past.  We discuss:

  • Tolkien’s hiking experience and how it influenced this section of The Hobbit VERY obviously.
  • Stone Giants… are they even necessary or part of Middle-earth? And what ARE they?
  • What’s the significance of Bilbo’s dream?

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

  • What we would change if Tolkien had continued with his rewrite.
  • What are the differences between goblins and orcs?  Is there a difference?  And when did Tolkien stop using the word “goblin” altogether?

Here are the pics to go along with today’s episode!
